Nice to meet you Matthew <3 That's really funny, because the reason
I'm currently in this is because I'm trying to honor a promise I made
to the community (and myself tbh ^^) when I abandoned v2 in favor of
v3.

v2 has really sound features, "just make an autocomplete for this
model by default", helped a lot.

But, the code that did that was too much work because it was a lot of
working around Django internals. Do you have any idea, the effort it
was, to maintain this at all ?

https://github.com/yourlabs/django-autocomplete-light/blob/v2/autocomplete_light/forms.py

Even then, you had to use a custom modelform, when it should just be a
default, I mean, are you **ever** going to want a select box to render
with a million options ? No, no, no a thousand times no, right ? ;)

About the feature you're missing in v3, it seems like one of the most
recent features that was contributed:

Is that what you're talking about ?
